Writing Prompt: This introductory writing exercise is meant to ease us into the practice of creative/imaginative writing. Use the textbox below to write your answer. Prompt: In 250-300 words, describe one place you’ve lived during your lifetime in vivid detail. You will focus on the dwelling, not the wider neighborhood or surroundings. Describe this dwelling using specific imagery. In doing so, think about the five senses: what did/does the place look like, smell like, sound like? Do you remember the texture of a rug or wall? When writing imagistically, you want to be as specific/detailed as possible. For instance, don’t just say that it had “white walls,” say the walls were meticulously painted off-white and that someone repainted every two years to keep them fresh. Or, that the walls were painted off-white but covered in crayon markings. Don’t just say that you can still smell your grandma’s cooking; tell me what kind of stove, what she is cooking, and what she is wearing in this moment. Your mission with this assignment is to transport me along with you to this dwelling so that I too can experience it through your use of detailed, imagistic language. Provide an many different specific details as possible. You may take me back to one specific day there, or your piece may be a collection of details from across many years in this residence.    Guidelines: Your piece must stick to the assignment prompt. Break your piece in paragraphs for readability. It must be between 250-300 words. As you type, you can view your word count below your text entry box. It must be completed in one hour or less. Don’t be a perfectionist. Grammar and spelling will not lower your grade. Just the content/images/and professionalism. Honorlock will be used. For this assignment, textbooks are not allowed. Just use your own words/thoughts/memories.  Please write this piece as you would an essay/work of prose, not a lineated poem. Issues with technology and Wi-Fi cannot excuse a late/missing/or malfunctioning submission. Don’t begin until you can finish it and submit it correctly and on time. AI generators are not allowed in this course or on this assignment. Similarly, your work should be your own. Any reason to suspect that AI was used or any other unauthorized resource, this assignment will receive a zero. All course policies noted the syllabus apply to this and all writing exercise assignments.
